Epic Summer Saga 4: Four Eyes



"Not really. That's why I sit in front."









Anyway, these are the eye glasses rules:

  3. Never place them lens down.





The conversations went something like this:

"Do you remember when you took them off?"
"No. I didn't take them off."


"Do you remember where you took them off?"
"No. I didn't take them off."


"How much?"
"Hundreds of dollars."
"A thousand?"
"No, not a thousand."
"Oh." (Totally unimpressed)

Those are our rules! And, too, I wish my hubby would follow them. We buy glasses at Walmart - they have a one year warranty, and (this I know from experience) they will replace them due to any accident, including Aspie temper tantrum destruction. They won't replace lenses free, but those have usually survived (with the exception of getting stomped on in a gravel playground).

So Pink P wears them all the time? Weird. Mine are solely for astigmatism also, but I only need them for things like watch movies in the theater or reading street signs off in the distance while driving. I was actually misdiagnosed for years as being near-sighted. If I try to leave them on when I read a book or map up close my eyes get all buggy and it hurts to look at the page. I guess everybody's eyes are different. (Well, that's obvious, but you know what I mean.)

now that Im older I dont seem to need my glasses for reading. I have had them since I was pink's age and for the first time in my life I am in frequent violation of rule #2. It drives me wild but that doesnt seem to keep me from doing a matter of fact I dont know where they are right now...crap!

I can relate, Zoe. I decided to buy several cheap pairs so I can always find one pair to put on before I look for the ones I misplaced. Uugh...

When I was in third grade my best friend wore glasses. She always wore a strap on the back so she wouldn't lose them. It was the 80s and that was probably less nerdy then as it is today. But maybe something to look into for Pink P if they keep disappearing off of her face. Heh! : )
